Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. If the one performing tamattu' forgets to shorten his hair and then enters the state of ihram for Hajj, and he remembers after he has entered the state of ihram for Hajj, what is the ruling?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is a great issue. Some scholars say that he has no Hajj because he entered the state of ihram for Hajj at the wrong time, since if he had intended to be a qarin, he would have entered the state of ihram for Hajj before the tawaf. He is now neither a qarin nor a mutamatti'. We see that he is a mutamatti' and that he owes a fidyah for leaving off the shaving, for leaving off the shortening. The 'Umrah of the mutamatti' does not involve shaving, so he owes a fidyah for leaving off the shortening, and his Hajj is valid, if Allah wills.
